kinda disturbed by external links translated gnosocial urls. do they serve a purpose? its for shortening the url? on desktop its fine because the user can simply mouse over and see what the link is. on mobile, is there an easy way to check where a link leads before going there?about 10 months agofrom webpermalink

so gnusocial, within itself does not need javascript, or at least gnusocial.no doesnt. but following fedbot did. is it always like that?

looking for something that doesnt need javascript for external users. not needing it for your own is even better. the idea is not to have to trust outside sites. that way, you can safely see what others have to say.about 10 months agofrom webpermalink

@pixelfairy from what I have seen, I can use gnusocial.no without any javascript at all. When subscribing to external users I can enter their address internally without using their site to initiate the subscription.about 10 months agopermalink

@pixelfairy and I use a desktop or mobile client to post updates most of the time, except when I want to subscribe to people or change settings. That way I can minimise my time on the web interface. Give #Yaics (a desktop client) or #Twidere (a mobile client) a try :-)about 10 months agopermalink

trying to put all this together in my head. please tell me if theres a better forum for questions like this.

it seems like hubzilla both its own social network, and an identity hub for other sites, like friendica, blogs etc. so, for example you could make a job posting or online auction site and users could login with their hubzilla account?

is it possible to start with a friendica server and then make a hubzilla one, or would you have to make new accounts? could the accounts be moved? or would have to be?about a year agofrom webpermalink

It was possible to migrate from friendica to hubzilla for a few months in 2012 but the internal data structures and interfaces are no longer compatible. They are entirely different projects based on completely different concepts.about a year agopermalink

Typically with these software platforms like GitLab and probably Phabricator, there are multiple methods of authentication supported. Once the user is authenticated, all their settings and data are independent of whatever identity-provider was used. If Hubzilla can be used as nothing but an identity-provider, you'd still be improving things a lot in my opinion, because as long as that identity-providing capability supports nomadic identity, you gain the unique ability to authenticate using a decentralized network of clones, providing the resilience that is crucial to the decentralized, non-commercial, self-hosted web. Hubzilla already can act as an OpenID identity-provider, but that of course does... https://is.gd/vxCwk8about a year agofrom r2gspermalink

Nice to see @aral in the fediverse. I've mentioned it before at meetups in Manchester, but it would be good if FSF or other similar organisations ran a campaign to get more folks from the open source world actually using open source communication systems, rather than Slack, G+, Facebook, Google Hangouts (or whatever it's now called), etc. about a year agofrom gnusocial.freedombone.netpermalink

@lnxw48 This was a #hubzilla situation not a #gs one. It is probably the same situation combined with the fact I was running Firefox 15 when Firefox 35,217,689 was the current version.about a year agopermalink

Coverage has always been somewhat spotty, due to my own personal time constraints, as well as the fact that I am sometimes behind on covering announcements from various projects. While I hope to once again get back in the saddle soon, I'd like to take the opportunity to reach out to my contacts within the space.

In #Hubzilla, it is possible for multiple people to administrate a channel. This includes collaboration on the integrated wiki (found here, in its sparse form) as well as post creation and scheduling. From there, We Distribute federates to Diaspora and Friendica, and cross-posts to Pump.io, Libertree, and GNU Social.

about !hubzilla again ( and !fosw ) ... "It's actually based on a relatively simple concept.

When I first tried to create a decentralised Facebook alternative, one of the first problems I encountered was "how would one do a 'wall-to-wall' post or share photos/videos privately - using a decentralised architecture?".

Extensible permissions so you can create a new permission rule such as "can write to my wiki" or "can see me naked".
Guest access tokens can do anything you let them, including create posts and administer your channel
ACLs can be set on fil.... https://gnusocial.no/url/265531about a year agofrom webpermalink
